Good luck on this cycle! I hope this is the one for you. I’m also doing IUI w/ Injectibles. At my current clinic they just give me one IUI 36-40 hours after my trigger. They never check to see if I actually ovulated b/c they say they assume I do if I took the trigger shot. I’ve thought about requesting an u/s the day after or the day of the IUI. I interpreted your posts to say that they aren’t sure when you are going to ovulate even though you did a trigger shot? It would be just my luck to be going through all of these IUI’s and not even releasing my eggs. Any insight?

My clinic does an ultrasound right after an IUI to see if I have already ovulated. If I haven’t, I go in the next day for another ultrasound. My understanding is that if I haven’t ovulated by then, they could do a second IUI. I’ve never had that happen, though. I don’t think its so much of a question of whether I really will ovulate after the trigger shot as it is making sure the sperm is present as close to the release of the egg as possible. I believe, although I’ve never asked, that post-wash sperm doesn’t live as long.

This particular cycle is a little wonky because we were afraid I was going to ovulate BEFORE I took the trigger shot.
